Brier Patch Farm

Organic (certified or organic practices)? Although not yet technically “certified,” we use every method in line with organic practices. Absolutely no synthetics or biocides of any kind are used at any point in the preparation, production, and harvest of our crops. In fact, we strive to go beyond “organic” and incorporate regenerative practices, emphasizing a biological balance of our soils to help bring you the most nutrient dense and vital food we possibly can. We also have a fascination with biodynamics, which informs what we do for the farm and garden.

What do you do specifically on your farm that makes you stand out? All of our microgreens (as well as our field crops) are grown in a homemade soil mix that is teeming with the biology needed for the most robust and resilient seedlings. To preserve our soil’s biological profile, we irrigate with rainwater almost exclusively and apply home-brewed compost teas and extracts. We also create and recycle ALL crop waste and organic matter on the farm by making our own thermophilic compost as a key ingredient in our homemade soil mix. We hope to completely close this energy loop soon.

Safety Protocol:
All working surfaces and tools are sanitized beforehand using 4% food-grade hydrogen peroxide and hand-washing is strict and thorough.

All clamshell packaging is single-use compostable.
